VErbal assault is not a crime assuming there is no other threatening behaviour. I can call you any name under the book. If you hit me, you committed a crime. This person was vulgar, uncouth, impolite etc. Disorderly, committing battery...to the point of committing a crime is a stretch, but then again, what the heck do I know. Everyday it’s something posted on here that makes me think life is upside down.
